In approving them though, you always have to use your own judgement. I've gotten true spam from wordpress.com bloggers before. They sign up for an account, make a series of legitimate sounding comments to get you to approve them and then in comes the spam links and such.

Don't automatically assume that a comment coming from a wordpress blogger ISN'T spam. Review them just like you would any other comment that Akismet catches.

However a comment made by another wordpress blogger has been flagged as spam. Why would that happen?

Don't want to disapprove comments that are benign, for obvious reasons. Nor do I want to hose my site.
